Barely few months after a trailer killed some people at the now bloody IMSU junction, another tragic incident has once again hit the area as a fence collapsed on Tuesday night killing a woman identified as Mrs Cecilia Uba.
Trumpeta gathered that the wall fencing a building along Prestige street, opposite Marvis Hotel in Works Layout near IMSU junction collapsed between 11pm and 12 midnight while under pressure owing to the flood from the heavy down pour that continued till Wednesday morning.
When our Reporter got to the scene, the body of the deceased believed to be a native of Ahiazu-Mbaise and sells rice grains in her shop on the collapsed wall hard been taken away apparently to the morgue.
One of the surviving children of the victim (names withheld) who spoke to our Reporter informed that his mother had instructed him to go home after giving him night food that she would be coming home when the rain stopped only for them to now hear that the wall had collapsed killing the mother and leaving behind six of her children (3 boys and 3 girls).
It was also gathered that a similar incident had happened before now though no life was lost.
